TV is the main source of information.
It is a cheap form of entertainment for millions of people.
It can help you to "travel" all over the world.
It can help you to "meet" different people and learn about their customs and traditions.
It helps us to relax.
It can educate and broaden our minds.
TV is a terrible waste of time.
It makes us lazier.
We read less and talk less.
We stay at home instead of going out.
Not all programmes on TV are good. TV teaches us "how to kill, to rob, to shoot and to poison."
